Sony: Killzone Shadow Fall sold 2.1 Million Units

Today Sony PlayStation Europe tweeted that PS4 exclusive Killzone Shadow Fall sold 2.1 Million units worldwide which means about half of the 4.2 million people who picked up a PS4 also grabbed this launch title.

Yes but I think that lots of Killzone Bundles (the big, awesome ones) are included in that number. Still very impressive and I'm glad that Guerilla is successful with it ...now please leave the Killzone franchise for awhile.

Just because I'm all about objectivity, Does this count as spin by Sony. They know damn well 2.1 million didn't buy that game, they included forced bundles as sales. If they did sell 2.1 million that's impressive, but not more impressive than the twitter conversation on this post lol. Lastly this was like the only big ps4 exclusive people had to buy something, the problem is gamers realized their mistake and probably resold the game.

@Corpser lol only 1500 people online, but they sold 2.1 million hmmmmmmmm.

@truefan of xbox Your mad because no Xone Exclusive sold that much so you come on KZ article hating on GG success :/ when Forza 5 announced they reached a million in sales did you see me screaming omg must of been the bundles -_-.

You do realise that people CHOOSE to buy bundles. They don't just buy a bundle with a game they don't want to play. There were plenty of non-Killzone bundles to buy. So why would be choose the Killzone bundle? Because they wanted the game. It counts as a sale.

You are the kind of fanboy that believes every lie Microsoft tells you, whilst trying to call out Sony as the liars - when history dictates who the manipulative, deceitful corporation is who consistently lies to their consumers. Your reaction here is what happens when a person becomes insecure about the criticism that their chosen console is getting, so tries to spin it the other way to make themselves feel better about their own purchase. Telling lies yourself, we can see who your inspiration is.

Killzone: SF is a quality game, but you can't deal with the fact that PS4 still has more games available, regardless of them being exclusive or not.

Uhhh no, the Killzone bundles were VERY limited. Also in most countries those bundles weren't released until December.

Also, if that dude above is THAT desperate that he needs to try and downplay KZ:SF's success, then gtfo.

2.1 million KZ:SF sales, if someone bought the bundle, chances are that they chose to. Yeah SOME people may have been forced to because of the normal unit being sold out, but in all honesty how often would that have happened? Not very.

@trollfan - You don't think bundles should be included in sales figures? Why not? People obviously bought the bundles that most appealed to them, and people bought the KZ:SF bundle because they wanted KZ:SF + a PS4. If there was no bundle they would have bought KZ:SF separately. Derp much? Maybe Sony shouldn't count the consoles sold in bundles because people really bought the bundle for the games they came with. LOLOL!!

Counting a game sold in a bundle as a sale is perfectly legit. However counting consoles that were given away for free as sales, is not. And we all know MS padded their sales numbers of XB1's from all the dozens of giveaways they had going at nearly every fast food place in the US + nearly every bag of chips and soda had "Win a Xbox One!!" on it.

wow, your ignorance and jealousy is so obvious, it stinks! so what if they included the bundles in this 2.1 mil sold? you do know that the bundle cost just a little bit cheaper than buying the PS4 and the game separately, right? or are you thinking that when a game is bundled in, they are given for free? I bought the bundle because I want KZSF and buying it separately cost slightly more so I actually save a bit by buying the bundle.

no matter how you see it, hate it if you want (obviously you already are!) 2.1 mil sold with 4+ mil console is one hell of a great achievement, no question ask! it's mind boggling even when you think that Super Mario 3D World only sold over a million copies when it's THE game that people say will save the Wii U!

give credits where it's due please. KZSF is not perfect and a lot of improvement can still be made but the MP is quite addictive and congrats to Sony and GG for this achievement.

WHAT? HOW? you do know that GG and Sony only get the money from the 1st hand sales only, right? no matter how many are traded in, the money is already in the bank. the 2nd hand copies are for the likes of Gamestop to worry about, not Sony or GG anymore.

and digital copies are not returnable or trade-able, so there's that too.

You really need to explain to me how this game is anything like cod. This game is as far from cod as the east is from the west. I have played cod non stop for the past 6 years and I haven't touched ghosts since I started the killzone multiplayer. Please explain what exactly makes this like cod other than the fact that it's a FPS?

Would love too. Lets see small maps overpowered weapons. Turrets flying and land based. These things im about to name arn't in COD specifically but they remind me of it. Shields , Medics that revive from across the map. Hence why i said COD future edition.

dont know why all the disagrees killzone is nothing but a tech demo gameplay is horrible,unfun, and bland as hell did not have one oh shit moment sure was a pretty game i will say. i sold it the same week i bought it wish i got 2k instead now money wasted.

That is probably because both games may have great single player experiences but multiplayer lacks. I don't play KZ:SF multiplayer, haven't even tried it because usually if I want to play competitive FPS, I go for BF4.

I really love KZ's single player content though. Great experience and beautiful visuals. Best looking launch title EASILY.

From what I played of it, I really enjoyed it, the single player was far better then battlefield 4 (that was the only other first person shooter I played at launch), and them graphics were pretty awesome.

Im sure ill get down-voted by all the sony fanboys on this site...but honestly, this game is pretty crappy. The graphics are good, but the gun play is particularly lackluster, its really as simple as that. Whenever I put this game in my PS4, all I can think of is playing BF4. That is a really bad sign for Killzone.

As with most new consoles, I think people want to get that "flagship" game - especially when its a first person shooter - to show off their new console's capabilities to their friends. More or less, KZ is just a tech demo with minimal substance. There's a reason why its the most traded in game for the PS4 at Gamestop.

It's a pretty decent shooter to launch a new generation. It diffently had the graphics to back it up. The universe, atmosphere, and gameplay is up to the player to determine if that appeals to them. Same with a game like Halo, believe it or not some don't care for that franchise or universe.
